It was quite a simple life, but Mende Nazer loved nature and was with her girlfriends always responsible for fetching water and collecting firewood, as well as she could go to school. The highlights in the village life were traditional festivals and celebrations, but there were also painful rituals. So she had a young age already a painful circumcision (FGM) to go through, which was regarded in the village as a matter of course.
